The Indian Clerk by David Leavitt
A fictionalized account of the meeting between self-taught Indian mathematical prodigy Srinivasa Ramanujan and English mathematician G. H. Hardy, tracing Ramanujan’s fraught journey from Madras to Cambridge and the clash of cultures, class, and faith that shapes their intense intellectual partnership. Told through multiple perspectives, it explores genius, jealousy, love, and the personal costs of ambition against the backdrop of early 20th-century Britain and the First World War.
